| 1. If you have a pressure cooker, it does wonders in tenderizing the pork. | 2. Cut pork into 1/2 inch cubes. | 3. Slice celery thin on diagonal. | 4. Slice onion into long slivers. | 5. Slice mushrooms into small hunks. | 6. Open cans of broth and bean sprouts. | 7. Mix corn starch into water. | 8. Heat oil in deep pan (pressure cooker or dutch oven), add butter and heat until it begins to bubble. | 9. Add pork cubes; don't stir for approximately 2 minutes to permit the pork to brown. | 10. Stir and add onion, celery, then mushrooms. | 11. Sprinkle in white pepper. | 12. Let cook over medium heat, stirring often, until celery and onion slivers are tender. | 13. Add chicken broth, soy sauce and bean sprouts. | 14. Now add the molassas, and stir. | 15. Taste for proper balance of sweet and salt flavor, adding more soy sauce or more molassas to balance flavor. | 16. Cover pot and simmer for at least an hour. | 17. If using pressure cooker, bring up to slow rocking pressure, and cook for 10 minutes. | 18. Let cool on its own, then remove cover and let simmer slowly for about 20 minutes. | 19. When pork is totally tender, and you have the proper sweet/salt flavor, mix corn starch into water and add to pot. | 20. Bring up heat just to the boil while stirring. | 21. Lower heat and let "cook" for about 15 minutes. | 22. Serve over long grain rice: 1 cup rice, 2 cups water, pinch of salt; bring to boil then cover and set on lowest heat setting for 25 minutes. | 23. I've made this chop suey for the past 45 years (yes, I'm an"older gal":). | 24. The chop suey freezes well. | 25. Enjoy! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
